Democrats preparing to take control of Congress for the first time in
over a decade are looking to the Republican takeover in 1995 as an
object lesson of what to emulate and what to avoid. They hope to match
the legislative energy of the Newt Gingrich era while avoiding at all
costs the partisan pitfalls that eventually soured voters on the GOP.

Republican Mistake

Democratic Plan

Party Divided Internally Over
Immigration Reform

Party line to be decided
internally and strictly followed; Policy to be selected by Julio,
Barbara Boxer's pool boy

Resort to torture damaged
America's image abroad

Adherence to high moral
principles will restore image of America as amiable simpletons
